Ratings and reviews

This is great. Excellent at getting pronunciation down and getting the sounds to root memory. Only improvement is to make the pinyin chart a game as well EDIT 2024: Syllable part: include sound asked for; sometimes you get listening and you forget which was being asked for😆. Consider updated recording; some sections I would rate ⭐⭐ or⭐⭐⭐,background noise,hard initials!

The practical exercises are really really nicely chosen, since they really make you compare and choose between similar sounding tones and syllables (eg. ci//chi or lian/liang) compared to other apps with randomly chosen comparisons (eg. chi//pang and bo//mang) which are rather useless. BUT: The sound quality of the recorded audio is really really bad and that's one of the crucial parts for learning Pinyin. 😔

Very nice helpful app. I have the following suggestions: 1) When trying to match sounds with syllabes, sometimes I do a wrong match. It would be helpful if I could click to immediately re hear the wrong sounds and also the right ones so I can train my ear. 2) it would also be nice if the app could repeat more the sounds which I often get wrong and repeat less the sounds that i often get right 3)I'm a computer programmer. If you need help I can volunteer to program for your app on my free time

What's new

Added "suí" which had not been displayed in the syllables of the Pinyin table.
